Dr. Dre Filming Apple's First Scripted Television Series (Exclusive)

Multiple sources say the 50-year-old mogul is starring in and executive producing his own six-episode vehicle, dubbed Vital Signs, and the production is being bankrolled by Apple. The series likely will be distributed via Apple Music, the company's subscription streaming site, but it's not clear if Apple TV, the iTunes store or other Apple platforms (or even a traditional television distributor) will be involved. Apple and a rep for Dre declined to comment. - Michael O'Connell & Lesley Goldberg, The Hollywood Reporter [via/web:http://streaming-tv.us]
